5. Gating -- UJT has gating with respect to the cathode and PUT has gating with
respect to the anode. Triggering -- UJT has triggering fixed by internal resistors
8. The transistor model provides some insight into the internal workings of the triac.
With the MT2 terminal positive with respect to the MT1 terminal and no gate
trigger, the current flow is only the reverse leakage current between the main
terminals. When a positive pulse is applied to the gate, Q3 and Q4 (the internal
SCR) would turn on and Q1 and Q2 (the complementary internal SCR) would
remain off. When the gate signal goes to zero volts, Q3 and Q4 remain latched on
as in a SCR. Now if MT2 is negative with respect to MT1 and another pulse is
applied to the gate, the reverse happens -- Q1 and Q2 turns on, and Q3 and Q4
are off.
9. Conduction angle is the number of degrees an SCR is on, firing angle is the angle at
which an SCR turns on, and the firing delay angle is the angle a SCR is off before
Quadrant 2 -- MT2 is positive with respect to MT1 and the gate polarity is negative.
Quadrant 3 -- MT2 is negative with respect to MT1 and the gate polarity is
negative. Quadrant 4 -- MT2 is negative with respect to MT1 and the gate polarity
is positive
14. Limits the rate of change of voltage applied to the anode-cathode of the SCR.
15. Intrinsic standoff ratio is determined by internal resistors for a UJT and by external
16. Triac controls current in both direction and a SCR controls current in only one
direction
18. If current is injected into the gate terminal, a flow of base current in Q2 occurs. The
conduction path for this current is through the base-emitter junction of Q2, thus
causing Q2 to turn on. This initial conduction induces current flow through the
base-emitter junction of Q1, thus causing current flow from the anode to the
cathode of the SCR. Since the base current is flowing in Q1, this transistor rapidly
switches on, with its collector current now functioning as the base current of Q2.
Also, the base current induced in Q1 becomes the collector current of Q2.
Therefore, the current into the gate terminal may be removed, and current

27. Zero point switching is a technique whereby the control device is gated on at the
instant the sine wave input voltage goes through zero. This technique minimizes
28. Triacs in phase-controlled circuits fire sooner because the capacitor is not fully
discharged
29. Turn on characteristics are the same and the GCS can turn off with a negative gate

36. The silicon-bilateral switch (SBS) is a solid state breakover device, which produces
38. The gate terminal can be used to alter the breakover point
39. Because a triac can conduct in both directions, it only has brief interval during which
the sine wave current is passing through zero to recover and revert to its blocking
state. For this reason, the most reliable operation of triacs is in low frequency

Chapter 5 - Problems
1. Figure 5-52 is a resistive-capacitor control circuit for an SCR
2. Voltage across the SCR is the shaded area of upper waveform and voltage across
3. Voltage across the SCR is the shaded area of the upper waveform and voltage
dv/dt = IC / C1
T = VP / (dv/dt)
T = 3.5 ms
Ø =75.6 degrees
dv/dt = IC / C1
IC = 1.4 mA
T = VP / (dv/dt)
T = 4.2 ms
7. C1 would be increased, which would make dv/dt greater, thus yielding a lower firing
angle

The diode CR1 inhibits gate current flow except only during the positive half-cycle,
thereby preventing the development of negative gate voltage and current. The
resistor R3 is a shunt resistor, negating the effect of widely varying values of gate
current.
15. This shunting action is accomplished by ensuring the value of the current through R3
17. No, because the VT is less than the breakover voltage of the diac, which is 30.
20. The triac fires at 168 degrees (78 + 90) because the RC network provides a 90-
degree phase shift and similarly, at 348 degrees on the second half cycle
